| 2006 Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp Everybody's a star at the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, where rock and roll dreams come true for fans who want to make their musical fantasies become reality. Presented by JBL, the leading manufacturer of professional and consumer loudspeakers, and produced by David Fishof Presents, the 2006 Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp will be the biggest and best ever. For 2006, a remarkable lineup of all-star rock legends - including Roger Daltrey (The Who), all the members of Cheap Trick (Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander, Tom Petersson and Bun E. Carlos), Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead), Dickey Betts (The Allman Brothers, Dickey Betts and Great Southern), Neal Schon (Journey), Mickey Thomas (Starship), and many more -- will be participating. The camp will take place in Los Angeles, CA, from February 16 - 20, 2006. Over the course of five days and nights, participants will have the opportunity to learn from, practice, jam and hang out with some of the world's greatest rock musicians and songwriters. They'll be able to live their rock dreams, up-close-and-personal with the stars. No experience is necessary, and all musical levels are welcome. Attendees will receive daily small-group instruction from the celebrity musician camp band, led by Camp Director Jack Blades (Night Ranger) and featuring Teddy Zig Zag Andreadis (Guns N' Roses, Alice Cooper), Gary Burr (Carole King), Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), Doug Fieger (The Knack), Sandy Gennaro (The Monkees, Joan Jett, Cyndi Lauper), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Simon Kirke (Bad Company), Bruce Kulick (Kiss), Michael Lardie (Great White), Jerry Renino (The Monkees), Mark Slaughter (Slaughter) and Kip Winger (Winger). Paul Bente, president of JBL Consumer Products, noted: “JBL is extremely proud to present the 2006 Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. JBL and rock and roll have always gone together. More professional musicians, recording engineers and touring sound companies rely on JBL loudspeakers than any other brand to convey music the way it was meant to be heard - with extraordinary clarity, power and realism, in concert halls, in the recording studio, and for listeners at home and in the car.” Bente continued, “We would like to thank all the additional sponsors and the artists for supporting the 2006 Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, which will offer participants a unique opportunity to experience all the musical intensity and excitement of rock and roll. It should be an unforgettable experience for everyone!” Enthusiasts who sign up for the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp will participate in jam sessions and play songs with the celebrity musicians at a world-class professional recording studio and rehearsal space. Campers may attend seminars with musicians and top music industry executives, have meals and socialize with the stars, and participate in a Battle of the Bands. For five intense days and nights, participants will enjoy the recording, touring and fantasy life of a rock legend - all leading up to playing live onstage with their idols in a special performance at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. Along with presenting the 2006 Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, JBL will be giving away $50, 000 worth of prizes. In addition, Gibson Guitar, the world's leading manufacturer of musical instruments, will bring to the camp its collection of world-class Gibson and Epiphone guitars and basses, which may be used by the campers, giving them the chance to play the instruments used by the stars. The guitars will be signed by the artists and auctioned for charity. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
